Plan my Guwahati tripGetting to Guwahati
Usually the biggest line in the budget — and the one the estimate above leaves out.
Delhi → Guwahati
flight · 3h
₹5,500
1 way / person
Kolkata → Guwahati
train · 17h
₹600
1 way / person
Cheapest listed route is Kolkata → Guwahati by train. Return for two works out to about ₹2,400 — so a whole trip lands near ₹15,003 for two, travel included.
Fares are typical one-way estimates per person from Guwahati's common gateways, not live prices — book early and expect festival months to run higher.
